Hi all, we have narrowed it down to:

Charlotte
Lily
Ruby

Which do you like best? I’m leaning towards Charlotte as I think it’s so pretty if a bit dull? Thanks

Lily

Def Charlotte, can be varied to Charlie or Lottie if child prefers

Ruby 😊

Ruby Gladys is brilliant

MrsH497 · 13/08/2023 20:33

I have a Charlotte. She isn't Charlie or Lottie she's Charlotte. Lily is a middle name of hers. Not keen on Ruby - have heard Rubes as a nickname which is think is awful

I like Charlotte but there are a lot of them.. but I think you do need something classic to offset Gladys so I’d go with it,

Ruby Gladys sounds like a Catherine Cookson, as does Lily.

Ruby always strikes me as a stripper name a bit like Emerald, Diamanté & Topaz Confused

Charlotte is lively though and, although quite popular, Lilly is pretty too.

Charlotte, 100%

Love Charlotte.
Ruby reminds me of the song.

I like lily best. They’re all popular so I wouldn’t make that a distinction. Charlotte also quite nice, I don’t think Lottie is the most common shortening so unlikely she’ll automatically be called that

PickledScrump · 15/08/2023 13:27

Charlotte is a bit dull and if you don’t like the nicknames I’d rethink.

Ruby was incredibly popular a few years ago and has faded out again now so I think it’ll sound really dated, I know loads between 6-15.

Lily is lovely and is the only one that flows well with Gladys. Everyone says it’s popular but I only know of one who is actually a lily-may and she’s 12.

I love Ruby and Ruby Gladys is even better.

Cantdecide20 · 15/08/2023 20:09

Thanks all for the comments, we’ve decided to go with Lily Gladys 😊 I know Lily is meant to be really popular but we just love it so I think it’s the one.
